iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Every day, our brains shift between different modes of reasoning when interacting with the physical world. We act alone, learn from tutorials or experts, or delegate tasks. Our new NeuroImage study reveals how the brain dynamically switches between them. www.giovannifederico.net/how-the-brai...

How the brain shifts from doing to delegating

Our research shows how the brain transitions from performing to delegating technical tasks, activating both technical and social reasoning networks—a process we term transactive technical cognition.

🔬How is the human brain able to generate, utilise, and adapt to technology? 🧠 Here, we propose that a strict interplay of causal reasoning, semantic cognition, visuospatial skills, sensorimotor knowledge, and social learning can shape our technological cognition. Read below our new paper! 👇

An integrated account for technological cognition

Understanding how the human brain generates, utilizes, and adapts to technology is one of our most urgent scientific questions today. Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience reveal a complex neur...

One way to pass on our own causal understanding about how a physical system works is to provide a verbal explanation about it. Read in American Journal of Psychology Vol. 137, Iss. 3. @neurogiovanni.bsky.social @blubludoesscience.bsky.social scholarlypublishingcollective.org/uip/ajp/arti...

Visual stimuli near eye movements can appear closer in time or even reversed—a known effect also seen with visual masks. Our findings show that visual masks not covering the stimuli can also trigger this temporal inversion, suggesting that mask onset time anchors perceptual organization.

We discovered and published in NeuroImage two distinct neural pathways for mechanical and digital technology, highlighting the different ways our brain processes tools and devices we use every day. doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
